When is the Cox Plate?
Melbourne has a rich history of horse races and few come bigger on the Australian racing calendar than the Cox Plate. Held at the Moonee Valley racecourse, the Cox Plate has been contested since 1922 and is the richest race for 4-year olds in the country.
Traditionally ran a week after the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate generally takes place in late October – as momentum starts to shift towards the upcoming Melbourne Cup.
The Cox Plate will be held at Moonee Valley on Saturday 24th October 2020, with no fans in attendance due to the COVID 19 outbreak but there is still plenty at stake in one of Australia’s biggest races.
